Lily hasn’t always had it easy, but that’s never stopped her from working hard for the life she wants. She’s come a long way from the small town in Maine where she grew up—she graduated from college, moved to Boston, and started her own business. So when she feels a spark with a gorgeous neurosurgeon named Ryle Kincaid, everything in Lily’s life suddenly seems almost too good to be true.

Ryle is assertive, stubborn, maybe even a little arrogant. He’s also sensitive, brilliant, and has a total soft spot for Lily. And the way he looks in scrubs certainly doesn’t hurt. Lily can’t get him out of her head. But Ryle’s complete aversion to relationships is disturbing. Even as Lily finds herself becoming the exception to his “no dating” rule, she can’t help but wonder what made him that way in the first place.

As questions about her new relationship overwhelm her, so do thoughts of Atlas Corrigan—her first love and a link to the past she left behind. He was her kindred spirit, her protector. When Atlas suddenly reappears, everything Lily has built with Ryle is threatened.

With this bold and deeply personal novel, Colleen Hoover delivers a heart-wrenching story that breaks exciting new ground for her as a writer. Combining a captivating romance with a cast of all-too-human characters, It Ends With Us is an unforgettable tale of love that comes at the ultimate price.

I went into this book fairly blind, which I think is the best way to start it. So I don't want to give away too much info and spoil the story for you.

I will tell you this though, I thought I could read It Ends With Us and not react too much...not get emotional. Turns out I was wrong. There were certain parts in the story where I. Just. Couldn't. I had to take a breather and walk away for awhile.

This book does take you on an emotional journey with characters that are almost too real. I fell in love with them. I wanted to get to know them all. The story grabs you and refuses to let you go until the very end. There were times when I didn't want to stop reading it.

It Ends With Us has the power to change the way you view things and leave you an emotional wreck at the end of it all.

RATING: 4 ½ out of 5
